That's totally cool Jon! It seems like that little camera takes some reasonably good images. And the price is right too! I do know SCR doesn't allow cameras mounted outside the car, but with that little suction cup, you could hide it anywhere and no one would be the wiser. I might have to get me one of those and right it off as a business expense. It's video gear is it not? That would supply some very cool images to say the least.

As for my house, I live about 20 minutes south of the race track. Not far at all. That's why I decided to offer up my place for the after track event. I'm hoping not to be working on the Thursday before track day so as to get all the prep work done early.

but remember Chas, we are having a private session, so they have no say over what we video, or how we video it, and the worst they could do is tell us to take it off, so then we take it off and film from the inside of the car.

True about the video there, Jon. We have the track to ourselves, so something like that would be very cool.

Chas, G-money has a buddy that is making camera mounts and wants to sell them for $40. I was thinking that might be a good cheap option and you wouldn't have to do any work. A pretty good deal, I'd say. Have you made the rest of the parts though? If so, I'll let Greg know and see what else I can find, but the pickings, as they say, have been slim. Where did you get yours?

Hi Guys! Back in town from a weekend with the family up in Glenwood Springs. Well I started in on the mounts and have most of the aluminum cut and drilled. I was cutting out the mounting points for the pan/tilt head when I almost lanched one through the windshield of my car. A new windshield BTW!!!! Anyhow, work is progressing with them.

What are you talking about Winston? Is this guy making the whole deal or just a part? I thought I was doing the camera mounts? Please let me know so I don't waste any time or aluminum doing something someone else has now taken up.

OK, well that's news to me. I thought I was the one building them. It would have been nice had someone told me before I went out and bought some stuff to finish them up. Idems at this point I can't return.

Please let me know if I should bother with them any further. I have two almost done and all the pieces for the third cut and waiting.

What other car are you bringing man? Or is the the buddy you where refering to?

I'm still hoping to get my nephew out there with his nasty RSX-S. I like to drive that little bugger on the track!

Hey all, also remember to get yourself some Toluene to bump your octane rating and keep the detonation down to a minumum. Kwal-Howell paint stores sell it. About $10 for a gallon of 114 octane. Half a gallon of the stuff really improves the drivability of your turbo hotrods in the heat!

Also, If anyone wants one of my camera mounts that I made, PM me and I'll get them done this coming wekend. I'm going to be out of town tomorrow, but I'll be back tomorrow night. Then I'm gone for about two weeks up in Crested Butte doing a Indie Film. I hope I'll have access of some sort to the internet just to check my email and this place once in a while. But I will be back on the 17th.

Hey guys. Iwon't be driving but i'm defenatly gonna be thereand i'll bring my cam and a stopwatch(if i can find it) so i'll help you getting the track times. Besides i just wanna meet some members, the i've only met a couple at the VWOTG...but anyways i'll see you there.

That's a great tip, Chas, and lots cheaper than race gas. If we only need 1/2 gal, does anyone wanna go halvsies on a gallon? I'm not sure I want to make a road trip with a gallon of Tolulene in my car... it might leak and I might get flashbacks to the days of building model airplanes... :lol:

Hey Chas, I still found out and to my knowledge it is still up in the air until it is completely done. Since I got the whole ball running with you on that and have been a little swamped to try and keep up, I will still buy at least one of them from you, but I still need to find the mounting plate, which I have not been able to find yet.
